Fox News and Mercury Radio Arts, Glenn Beck’s production company, are proud to announce that they will work together to develop and produce a variety of television projects for air on the Fox News Channel as well as content for other platforms including Fox News’ digital properties. Glenn intends to transition off of his daily program, the third highest rated in all of cable news, later this year. […]

Glenn Beck said: “I truly believe that America owes a lot to Roger Ailes and Fox News. I cannot repay Roger for the lessons I’ve learned and will continue to learn from him and I look forward to starting this new phase of our partnership.”

Last month, Fox News officials told the New York Times anonymously that they were “contemplating life without Mr. Beck.” The Times also reported that “[m]any on the news side of Fox have wondered whether his chronic outrageousness “” he suggested that the president has ‘a deep-seated hatred for white people'”” have made it difficult for Fox to hang onto its credibility as a news network.”

That seems like a reasonable concern. Just yesterday, here’s what Beck used his show to assert:

- Union leaders are communists, socialists, or revolutionaries who want destruction of “western way of life” [04/05/11]

– Maybe Obama decided to try suspects at Guantanamo to inflame the Islamic world [04/05/11]

Beck’s rants earlier this year, in which he tried to connect uprisings in the Middle East to a rising Islamic takeover, abetted by liberal groups in the United States, even provoked the ire of fellow conservatives and Fox personalities like Bill Kristol, who characterized Beck’s rants as “fearfulness unworthy of Americans.”

Yesterday on his radio show, Beck foreshadowed this announcement by telling his listeners that if he left Fox News, “don’t you ever believe” that the liberal watchdog Media Matters “caused a victory.” Perhaps that’s true “” only Glenn himself is to blame for creating a show so radically divorced from reality that even Fox News couldn’t handle it.

Beck just needs to move to Australia, where this type of raving hatemongering would be right at home at his Dark Master Murdoch’s ‘The Fundament’ (aka The Australian). Today it has another installment in its war to ‘destroy’ the Green Party, based again on assertions that it is ‘antisemitic’ in that some Green Senators support a boycott of Israel. As is absolutely the rule with this propaganda organ of mass indoctrination, the tirades of hatred and contumely are utterly one-sided, the Greens not permitted to defend their position in any meaningful manner. The attempts to promote a split in the Greens are becoming really hysterical. All the Murdoch apparat’s favoured tactics are on display, including the use of anonymous ‘sources’, many of which, in my opinion, would simply be inventions. I wonder if there is any ”phone-hacking’ as Murdoch’s operatives utilise in the UK, going on here? Add to this campaign the relentless ‘diabolisation’ of Moslems, unions, teachers, Aborigines etc, the now so familiar pandaemonium of hatred and fear that the Right is inflicting on humanity with growing and unrelenting fervour, and I think that we have a milieu into which Mr Beck could slither with ease. The fate of a society where the leading media organisations are dedicated to promoting a fulminating hatred of others through racist, xenophobic, class and ideological hatemongering must, inevitably, be dire. The masters can take ‘divide and rule’ tactics only so far before society explodes into fratricidal chaos.

“With a deadpan, Beck insists that he is not political: ‘I could give a flying crap about the political process.’ Making money, on the other hand, is to be taken very seriously, and controversy is its own coinage. ‘We’re an entertainment company,’ Beck says.”

I tell ya, this has never been about politics. This whole thing has been about making money under the guise of “news.”

I don’t understand how almost 2 million people still watch his show. Beck is one of the most biased hosts in the US. All his infamous theories have apparent flaws and lack facts. This makes all he says totally worthless.

On the other side of the coin on the other side of the world here in Australia, Lachlan Murdoch & Gina Rhinehart (mining heiress) has managed to get control of Channel 10 free to air T.V. Now what sort of an agenda do you think a Murdoch & a Rhinehart would want set at Channel 10? Many saw the writing on the wall, but not this quick. Australia’s own Glenn Beck, Andrew Bolt resident climate change expert & expert on all matters has been given his own show.

Murdoch already supplies 75% of the newspaper market in Australia & you can guess the political stance & views it froths.

Bolt has been taken to court many times for slander & is in court again now, but as this reporter says, he shouldn’t be. Not only is the case not strong, but this only draws more attention to people like Bolt & nut jobs with likeminded rascist & bigoted views just gravitate towards him.

“…I haven’t seen a half-monkey, half-person yet” Well, I have, and now he has lost his TV show. People wonder who watched HeeBee GeeBee, and I know someone who did. He watched it enough to drink the Kook-Aid, and liquidate a good chunk of his family’s modest assets in order to prepare for the invasion. It’s a sad example of a con game by proxy. I wondered what would happen to the Millenials when the century turn failed to produce Armageddon, and now maybe I know. They immediately began looking for the next “logical” source for it. I guess AGW isn’t sufficiently sudden or stimulating for them. As with confused maple trees, the saps keep running.
